tough luck on E6 processing.. we would have to do a run to Miami (90
minutes or so during the week) to a 1 hour pro lab that we use. Just stick
to print film.. we have good luck with the local drugstore in developing
C41 film.. I guess several hundred irate astrophotographers screaming at
you during the last decade will make you pay attention (g).

I really don't think anybody gets left out that wants to come.. so many
tickets show up on Astromart..but don't waste every night shooting film at
the scope.. wander around and chat with people, mooch views etc.. Every
year I make the resolution to not even bring a scope (but break it), there
is just so much to do and see that it feels like you made a mistake if you
spend too much time with your equipment. It is the Florida Keys after all,
and you are locked in with several hundred fellow raving maniacs (g).

Do practice your piggyback and try to shoot the Southern Cross over the
ocean.. Scott Ireland took the ultimate shot many years ago.. here is a
link:
